I'm having few problems with this code, apparently somewhere there is a line where i can change the number of images to preload, it should be marked , but it's not......
I can get this to work , but if i use more than 4 images ..it locks.......I need to be able to tell the script that i'm using say.............26-40 images.
I've tried the site I got this from , but no reply.....
Can anyone point out the line....or lines ?

Thanks..........

Ouch, that's some old code - it's made to support JS 1.0... I doubt more than 5% of the population uses a browser that needs 1.0 to be supported.

I looked it over, as best I could, and I can't see why it won't work, if you just add the extra image names into the array. Can we see this in action? Especially with the error? That's always helpful.

Well, CNET's builder.com may not make the BEST code, but if you are just preloading your images, use their mouseover machine, and take the preloading area from the code they automatically write for you. It ain't half bad.

I want the full page to load...before the page loads (if that makes sense) ...it's for a new interface that need s to be preloaded ....over 250k..........
( about 40 images)I want the graphics to be fully loaded when the page loads.....if that's possible .........
